Furry Fandom and Drama General

It's a pretty well known thing in the TES fandom there's some unfortunate black stereotype coding going on there with them. I personally don't think it's all intended, but it's been noted a few times over the years.
Problem is, no matter how advanced you make their culture, no matter how proper their speech, once you have a race that is enslave by another race in any fantasy setting, people will say it's an analogy for black people, because only black people were slaves, and slavery is problematic, and therefore shouldn't be used in any setting because racism. It's stupid braintwisting to try and get wokepoints because that's all the loud Twitter population cares about, and they're the ones who will give you asspats and validate your otherwise unremarkable and pointless existence on the modern interwebs.
It's funny how Lolo is insisting "not washing your hair for months on end until your hair gets so covered in grease and knots it basically solidifies" is a black person thing. But she's not the racist! Everyone else is!
Funny, because the people I know with proper braided dreads actually have a pretty regular hair routine to prevent their hair from smelling to high hell and rotting off after a few months. The people with the hippydreads (where you just don't wash your hair and twist it into thick strands held together by 3 months worth of gunk) are all white wokefolk, and I don't want to be within 10 yards of them as I'm liable to catch a menagerie of diseases from them.
 
Question - Why is it unacceptable for a white person to have dreadlocks, yet perfectly acceptable for a black person to dye their hair blonde and straighten it?

Typically the reason you'll hear for why it's not allowed is that it doesn't work for a white persons hair type and is damaging, which brings back to my point about hair bleach and straighteners

Also.. the Bakugo obsession is very suspect and I find it highly probable that this person has Deku x Bakugo porn on their harddrive

Because if a white person does something "cultural," it's appropriative. But if a black person does something to make them appear "whiter," they're just "normalizing themselves." Or something. I've seen some women's retaliation against "No natural hair" rules be "Fuck you, I'll shave my head then. No wig."

Your point about bleach and straighteners is spot on, though. They will fry your hair. Mostly, when you see a woman with straight blonde hair, she's wearing a wig or weave. She neither straightened nor bleached her hair. The amount of work it takes to get naturally black hair into a state of crisp blondness can completely destroy the hair, if not done properly, and careless women have had their hair fall out from overbleaching.

To be fair considering we're talking about a fursuit with vaguely nordic vibes with dreads being racist and not for white people I'd say that a white woman with a dread wig would be called racist too

There's a quest where it's required to complete it to buy a slave. You buy a Dark Elf slave off a Dark Elf. It's one of the few times the lore being told everywhere up to that point in the series matched the observed reality. In that quest there is a chance if you're observant to take note of an enslaved Breton and an enslaved wood elf, at least I think that was their races.

It's worth noting this is all in Morrowind, a game from 2002, a game so old it's console port was the original Xbox. In recent years I've taken note of that detail. That games interacted with harder topics like slavery, racism, etc in a more matter of fact and realistic way before Twitter and the like cursed our society, and while Morrowind featured and had slavery, it felt organic in how the NPCs interacted with it. The Dark Elves were mostly fine with it when the topic came up, yet the other races from foreign lands were not only against it, but it was illegal everywhere else in the empire, therefore their sensibilities to view it a abhorrent also made sense, in this land the people are doing something the rest of society agreed was a crime.

Yet, no matter what you weren't in a position to shift the legal and political systems in place that allowed slavery to persist in the region to get it outlawed. You were never leading some revolution, it was never a big story plot line. Your interaction was more organic. You could free slaves when you found them, and potentially face the consequences, or you could ignore them like any other NPC. I don't believe the game was advanced enough to treat them any special way for murder or the like it's been awhile. The game only asked you to interact with slavery directly once, and it was the act of acquiring a slave to use to trick some backwards nomads.

It was just a fact of society you had to contemplate on in the back of your head while exploring a mages tower made from a giant mushroom only navigable through the use of magic, or as you sought out the giant bug with a hollowed out shell to use as a taxi.

A unique and wondrous place to explore filled with a different culture, and with a different culture came a different set of morality. It was organic feeling to see nothing crazy about slavery going on. It was barely mentioned, it was just that normal in the culture.

Now days Twitter would try to cancel Bethesda over not making the main quest a slave revolt, while also having racism at all and trying to have a set of analogs to explore some actual historical issues.
 
yall are applying logic to a group who railed extremely hard on Disney for supporting that "Don't say GAY" bill only for said group to absolutely love the latest Disney film, that came out not even a week after it was unveiled that Disney donated to this bill. unrelated, but I am legitimately surprised that I've not seen one Fetish/NSFW piece of Turning Red yet.
 
Mr Dreadlocks Bad talking about murder.

Then again, if you look at his profile, you can tell he's one of those dime an dozen furries.

Slightly off-topic but does it perplex anyone else that the furries who cry about racism effecting every aspect of their lives are the same furries who bring race into the fandom any way they can?

Like that character with dreads two pages back. That was a cool design. They changed it due to social pressure from others. Why can't that just be a fictional character? It doesn't exist. It can have any hairstyle for any reason. There are no rules to do with hair proteins or ethnic background. It's fiction; make-believe.

Surely if you hated racism and wanted to be immersed in the furry fandom so much, you would welcome complete creativity and breaking of racial/cultural/'human' barriers? Bringing race relations into everything seems counter-productive and just odd.

Simple, furries have a very skewed and blurred lines between the separation of the creator and the works of said creator.
 
What is a DHC fursuit, again? Sorry, I don't exactly specialize in furfaggotry
That's short for DontHugCacti, a fursuit making company. Their owner Lucky Coyote/BlondeFoxy has been mired in controversy and callouts for a while now.

There's a really obvious line that you don't cross. Such as putting obvious native American attire (eg the headdress) on your fursona if you're a fat white chick. Or making your fursona based on the Hiroshima nuke or the confederate flag.

Giving your shitty dog mask unwashed dreads made of wool is not one of them. Considering how many stoners are in the fandom I'm genuinely surprised this is even a topic.
 
lol I bet this was due to a spat between an event organiser and some attendee they had beef with, and this was their passive-aggressive way of having a reason to boot someone.
